Connecting the Camera
Installation Warnings:
•
Aim the Cameras to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for the camera that provides
a clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to
a strong light source or direct sunlight.
•
•
Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick walls or obstructions between the Cameras
and the Receiver*.
Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature between 14°F~122°F
(-10°C~50°C)
*Avoid installing in a location which requires the wireless signal to pass through cement, concrete, and
metal structures. This will reduce the range of transmission.
Installing the Camera
To install the camera:
1. Use the included mounting screws
to mount the stand to the mounting
surface:
• Mark the position of the screw holes
on the wall
• Drill holes and insert the drywall
plugs as needed
• Firmly attach the stand to the wall
Figure 1.0 Attach stand to mounting surface
using the provided screws
2. Attach the camera to the mounting
stand. Adjust the angle of the
camera until the desired view is set.

the desired camera position.
3. Connect the power cable from the
camera to the Power Adapter; plug
the Power Adapter to an outlet or
surge protector.
NOTE: You can add additional cameras
(maximum of 4 cameras). When adding
cameras that were not included in the

Appendix B: About Digital Wireless Technology
Appendix B: About Digital Wireless Technology
The Digital Wireless signal transmission type used by the Lorex LW2100 is also known as FHSS
–Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. This type of signal is highly resistant to deliberate
jamming as it generates a channel hopping sequence using an algorithm generated by the
receiver system.
The 2.4GHz (2.400-2.480Ghz) band is being divided into sections or paths of 2MHz per section,
and each second the transmission signal hops hundreds of times in a specified sequence within
this frequency range. The overall bandwidth required for frequency hopping is much wider then
2MHz however because transmission occurs only on a small section of this bandwidth at any
given time, the signal being transmitted does not suffer from greatly reduced signal
degradation and also avoids blocked paths other devices who act as sources of competing
signals. The strength of the signal being transmitted is set to be from 13.5-16dBm, which is
much higher then the analog transmission signal allowed by authorities around the Globe.
When an image is captured by the camera it is instantly converted from an analog to digital
signal and packaged into small packets. With each successful transmission via the 2 MHz paths
discussed above, the packets of information containing images are delivered to the receiver and
decoded into analog information. The information can then be displayed on devices that are
connected to the wireless receiver (RX).
A device pairing process is required to synchronize the transmitter (TX, Camera) and the
receiver (RX). This allows the transmitter and receiver to be on the same frequency and use the
same algorithm for frequency hopping. This ensures that only the paired transmitter and
receiver can maintain communication signal by hopping to the same frequency paths at the
exact same time. As a result, the chance that other devices within the same frequency range
are on the same frequency, at the same time and in the same order is extremely unlikely. Note
that the pairing process is already done at the factory for products that ship within the same
packaging. Only when add-on devices are purchased is a pairing process required.

Appendix C: Strengthening the Range of the Wireless
Signal
Is your wireless signal choppy? Do you want to extend the range of wireless transmission?
There are several ways to boost your wireless signal as well as options to help you extend the
range of the wireless signal.
Clear Line-of-Sight
The digital wireless signal is virtually interference free. However, you should always ensure
there is a clear line-of-sight between the camera and the receiver.
Clear line-of-sight
Clear line-of-sight
Obstacles
There should be little to no obstacles obstructing the line-of-sight between the camera and the
receiver. Solid objects, such as concrete and metal may limit the range of the wireless signal.
Extending Your Wireless Signal
Even with a clear line-of-sight between your camera(s) and your receiver, you may experience a
lower video frame rate simply due to the distance between your wireless devices.
Accessory antennas are available that can help extend the range of your wireless signal.

2.4 GHZ Directional Panel Antenna
Use the 2.4GHz Directional Panel Antenna (model#:
ACCANTD9) in one of two scenarios:
SCENARIO 1—Single camera installation: Attach the
directional antenna to either the camera or receiver or both to
extend the range.
SCENARIO 2—Multi-camera installation: Attach the
directional antenna to those cameras which are located far
away to improve the wireless signal strength. A 20 ft.
extension cable is included with the antenna to help with
proper positioning of the antenna including getting around
walls / objects to achieve line-of sight transmission.

2.4 GHZ Omni-Directional Antenna
Use the 2.4GHz Omni-Directional Antenna (model#:
ACCANTO8) in the following scenario:
Multi-camera installation: Attach the Omni-Directional
antenna to the receiver to extend the wireless transmission
range of the receiver.
To further improve the strength of the wireless signal,
consider adding directional antennas to those cameras
which are located far away.
The Omni-Directional Antenna should be positioned in an
elevated location (i.e. rooftop) to achieve clear line-of sight
to the cameras. A 20 ft. extension cable is included with the
antenna to help with proper positioning of the antenna
including getting around walls / objects to achieve line-of
sight transmission.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If you have problems with your System, there is often a quick and simple solution. Please try the
following:
Problem
Solution
•
Check power to the Camera. Make sure the
adapter is plugged in and the red LED light on the
power adapter is on
There is no picture from a
camera.
•
•
•
Make sure that the Cameras and Receiver are
both ON.
Make sure that the camera is in range of the
Receiver.
Make sure that each camera is within range, and
that there are no large obstructions or
interference
Try repositioning the camera, receiver or both to
improve the reception.
There is interference with
the camera picture.
•
•
•
Move the camera closer to the receiver.
Try repositioning the camera, receiver or both to
improve the reception.
The picture is dropping
•
The picture may become choppy when
experiencing a lower frame rate (i.e. 10 frames
per second vs. a higher 20 frames per second).
Try moving the camera closer to the receiver.
Remove obstructions between the Receiver and
Camera
The picture is or has
become choppy
•
•
•
•
Try switching to QVGA mode. Resolution will be
reduced but video frame rate will increase
When using with large screen TV/Monitor
(especially high-definition televisions), the picture
might be grainy as the camera limits video
resolution to VGA (640x480 pixels). This is not a
product defect.
The picture appears to be
grainy/distorted
•
For best performance use with TV/Monitor PIP
(Picture in Picture) function. Check your
TV/Monitor product manual to see if this feature is
available on your TV/Monitor
•
•
View video on a smaller screen TV/Monitor
Consider increasing the range of the wireless
signal with an accessory antenna (see page 17)
Common situation know as “washout” or
“whitewash” where a strong light source is
pointed at the camera lens. The camera lens IS
NOT harmed during a whitewash.
•
The picture is white
•
DO NOT point your camera towards a light source

FAQ
FAQ
Q: What is the maximum distance I can have between the camera and the receiver?
A: Typically 450 feet (137 m) with a clear line of sight in open space, or approximately 150 feet
(46 m) in a house. Walls, studs, furniture will interfere with the range of wireless transmission.
Q: Why does my “wireless camera” have a power cable?
A: The term “wireless” refers to the lack of a video cable between the camera and the receiver.
The camera still requires a power source.
What does 'line-of-sight' mean?
A: 'Line-of-sight' means that there are no obstructions which may interfere with the
transmission of the audio/video signal. Obstructions include items such as walls, buildings and
certain electronic devices.
Q: What is pairing?
A: Pairing is an electronic handshake between digital wireless devices. Pairing allows the
devices to communicate exclusively with each other. The transmission is encrypted and secure.
Q: Can digital wireless cameras be paired to more than one receiver?
A: Digital Wireless cameras can only be paired to one receiver. This is to prevent interception by
3rd parties, and prevents any other device from picking up the signal – this also means that you
cannot pair one camera to multiple receivers.
Q: Can I use 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz systems at the same time?
A: Yes. 900 MHz devices and 2.4 GHz devices will not interfere with one another.
Q: Can I connect analogue 2.4 GHz wireless cameras to the wireless receiver?
